*On the Night of the Murder*

"Agh!" Sera yelped in slight pain. She had climbed over the wall and jumped off to trespass the private mansion. It was not hard to find the loophole in the security because her brother bragged that the so-called electric grills of the Song mansion was nothing more than a fluke to scare off intruders.

She staggered to stand up and looked around her. The path she used was through the backyard and the servants were all busy that night. There was a party up on the roof and she could hear the loud sounds of music echoing through the grounds. It seemed that everyone was focused on the party and no doubt Rachel would be there as well.

"Perfect!" she muttered and silently made her way through the grounds. Hiding behind a wall, she checked if there was anyone around the front door. There were a few maids who were gossiping amongst themselves.

"I heard that the young miss is really mean," one of the maids was saying.

"She's a nightmare!" another maid claimed. "That night, I tried to enter her room to change the sheets but she threw a sandal at me and barked like a dog to drive me away. Nasty piece of work that girl is!"

They were murmuring and nodding, not noticing that Sera was slowly sneaking in through the front door. Upon entering the house, Sera slowly walked towards the Eastern part of the house. There were a lot of rooms and she was unsure where Rachel's room was. Passing past a large living room which was probably larger than her own one, Sera tiptoed towards a wide corridor which had several rooms lined up on both sides.

She pressed her ears against one door to make sure that no one was in it before slowly opening it. The room was dark but she could see the silhouette of a king sized bed along with lavish Greek style furniture and a small bookshelf. It was a neat room but Sera recalled that Rachel's room had a large picture of herself on one side.

Closing the door of the room, she went on to check the other rooms in the corridor but none of them seemed to be Rachel's room. Maybe she lives upstairs, Sera thought.

Suddenly, she heard the shuffling of footsteps and quickly hid behind a wall. A maid was standing in the hallway, talking on the phone.

"Yes ma'am," she was saying. "I'll make sure that he enters the mansion. Shall I tell him to wait for you in the bedroom?"

The maid was listening to the person on the other line and then nodded. "Understood," she said. "I'll relay the message."

She hung up the phone and quickly left the room. Taking her chance, Sera quietly rushed towards the grand staircase.

For some reason, it struck her as odd that there were not many people downstairs at that time. Even if there was a party upstairs, surely, there should have been more security. But there was almost no security. Moreover, the rooms she had just checked were all empty and not a soul seemed to be living in them. The mansion was really big but there were so few people living in it. Moreover, the handful of inhabitants of the mansion live so far away from each other.

Do they get lost in their own house? She wondered. Sera was wandering on the first floor, looking for Rachel's room. Even on that floor, there were many rooms which looked as if no one lived in them. Sera must have checked at least twenty such rooms and all of them were empty. What did the Song's do with so many rooms?

But there was not much time. She took the risk of breaking into the Song mansion only so that she could steal Rachel's burn book. After the humiliating experience of getting trapped in one of Rachel's many pranks, Sera had enough. Rachel actually made her friend, Jumyeon, pretend to like Sera and make her confess her bussing feelings to him. Sera thought that Jumyeon was a good person because he was really sweet and attentive towards her. As someone who craved love and care, she thought that Jumyeon was the one for her.

So when she confessed to him, she was confident that he would accept her only for him to cruelly reject her. To her further horror, Rachel came out of a hiding spot and filmed it all. She taunted Sera for daring to love someone despite being so ugly and it completely broke Sera's heart. Sera was insulted and jeered upon by the whole school. Even her brother did not step up to help her out of fear. He did not want his reputation to be ruined by associating himself with her.

The burn book was Sera's only hope to take revenge on Rachel. Once she got her hands on it, she was going to release the contents anonymously and expose Rachel's activities to the whole school. She wanted to see Rachel humiliated just like how that latter did to her.

There was a fierce fire of revenge burning in her and it would not go away until Sera made Rachel beg for mercy!

"Where the fuck is her room?" she muttered. Sera was now standing in front of a couch which had been placed on one side of the corridor. She looked around, wondering which one was her room when she heard one of the doorknobs twisting. Quickly hiding behind the couch, she held her breath to see who was coming out of the room.

The door slowly swung open and a person in black clothes and a mask was coming out of the room. To Sera's horror, he was carrying an unconscious Rachel and she was completely naked!

What the fuck? Sera thought in fear. Rachel seemed to have been knocked out as she was being carried away downstairs. Sera debated for a while before deciding to follow the guy. She quietly tailed him as he made his way towards a door right underneath the stairs which Sera deduced to be some kind of basement.

She waited for a few minutes before going after him into the basement. Slowly descending the stairs she hid behind a wall to see what he was up to.

The man lay Rachel on the ground and was intently watching her. His back was turned to Sera. She spotted a trunk a few meters behind the man so she quickly went towards it. Silently opening it, she scrambled inside to peek at what was going on.

Her eyes fell on Rachel who was now stirring. As soon as Rachel's eyes opened, they fell on Sera who was now peeking out of the trunk.

As if in a trance or was it a desperate attempt, Sera never knew but Rachel weakly tried to move but failed. Her hands and feet were tightly tied. Moreover, she looked as if she was drugged.

"Help…" Rachel whispered at Sera, begging her to do something. "Help…"

She was desperately begging Sera but the latter was frozen to her spot. A hand grabbed Rachel's hair and jerked her head up. Rachel was too weak or unable to fight back because her body was completely limp.

Sera watched in horror as the man put a foot on Rachel's bare stomach and with brute force, yanked out a large chunk of hair.

And thus began, the most horrifying sight that Sera had ever seen.
